Journal of medical systems
Although body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (B F %) are well known as indicators of nutritional status, there are insuficient data whether the relationship between them is linear or not. There are appropriate linear and quadratic formulas ...

ANN Prediction of Metabolic Syndrome: a Complex Puzzle that will be Completed.

Journal of medical systems
The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has a leading role in the early prevention of chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancers and chronic kidney disease. It would be very greatful that MetS diagnosis can be predic...

Improving Feature Representation Based on a Neural Network for Author Profiling in Social Media Texts.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
We introduce a lexical resource for preprocessing social media data. We show that a neural network-based feature representation is enhanced by using this resource. We conducted experiments on the PAN 2015 and PAN 2016 author profiling corpora and obt...

Dense Annotation of Free-Text Critical Care Discharge Summaries from an Indian Hospital and Associated Performance of a Clinical NLP Annotator.

Journal of medical systems
Electronic Health Record (EHR) use in India is generally poor, and structured clinical information is mostly lacking. This work is the first attempt aimed at evaluating unstructured text mining for extracting relevant clinical information from Indian...

Automatic gender detection of dream reports: A promising approach.

Consciousness and cognition
A computer program was developed in an attempt to differentiate the dreams of males from females. Hypothesized gender predictors were based on previous literature concerning both dream content and written language features. Dream reports from home-co...

A Prognosis Tool Based on Fuzzy Anthropometric and Questionnaire Data for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity.

Journal of medical systems
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are linked to the augmented risk of morbidity and mortality. Although polysomnography is considered a well-established method for diagnosing OSA, it suffers the weakness of time consuming and labor intensive, and require...

Diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome with a Support Vector Machine.

Journal of medical systems
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a serious condition arising from an imbalance of supply and demand to meet myocardium's metabolic needs. Patients typically present with retrosternal chest pain radiating to neck and left arm. Electrocardiography (ECG...

The impact of paracentesis flow rate in patients with liver cirrhosis on the development of paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction.

Clinical and molecular hepatology
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Ascites is a dreadful complication of liver cirrhosis associated with short survival. Large volume paracentesis (LVP) is used to treat tense or refractory ascites. Paracentesis induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) develops if no pl...

Family income per capita, age, and smoking status are predictors of low fiber intake in residents of São Paulo, Brazil.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
We hypothesized that dietary total fiber intake may be less than recommendations and that the intake of total, soluble, and insoluble fiber may be associated with demographic, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. Data were drawn from the Health Surv...

Endogenous and exogenous factors influencing the concentrations of adiponectin in body fluids and tissues in the bovine.

Domestic animal endocrinology
Adiponectin, one of the messenger molecules secreted from adipose tissue that are collectively termed adipokines, has been demonstrated to play a central role in lipid and glucose metabolism in humans and laboratory rodents; it improves insulin sensi...
